The flounder was undercooked and all of the food was dripping grease. This was a first visit, so that may not be the norm, but our experience was disappointing.
Early dinner ... we had shave ribeye steak subs and fries... DELICIOUSLY flavorful!! Tried the appetizer: Chicken Brocolli Cheddar Fritter Balls-- good gracious they were AMAXING!! House made ranch dressing for dipping. Another plus was really nice gift shop on site... plus HOMEMADE old family recipe fudges!!! WOW!! A really nice family feel to this place instead of just a bar hang out joint. Very nice attentive staff working here.
We were greeted and seated by Sierra. She was also our waiter. She was phenomenal. Made several suggestions which we decided upon. My blackened shrimp tacos were fresh hot and tasty. Wife had the crab cakes. Fresh, hot and full of flavor. Never disappointed when we eat here. Back to Sierra. Kept our drinks filled. Continued to make suggestions even after we were finished. We passed on dessert but Sierra was telling us to make room for their Key Lime Pie on our next visit. We will indeed try. Pleasant, engaging and an absolute pleasure to have as our server.
It was super busy! I enjoyed my crab cakes. I wanted a mix drink and they didn’t have the fruit. So that was disappointing
We had dinner here for 6 and decided to eat outside. 2 things wrong with eating outside, 1. It's way too close to the road, which makes it hard to hear, and 2. If the weather decides to turn, they will put your food in a to-go box and send you on your way. The food was not great. The burgers for the kids didn't even have any toppings. The adult meals looked and tasted like they were microwaved. The husband ordered coffee, and his coffee mug came out with lipstick on the mug. Sent it back, and it came back in the same mug, and they just wiped it off, but they missed a spot, which is how we knew they didn't give him a new cup. For 6 people, it was close to $300, and that was with no alcoholic drinks.
Our dinner was just ok, we have had better on the island. The service was so /so . Can’t say anything terrible about the place except the food wasn’t anything to weight home about. We had shrimp , shrimp tacos and hush puppies. The chips were good with their ranch dipping sauce . I would explore other options. The kids Menu was great for picky eaters.
The food and atmosphere was wonderful!! We ate outside because we had a large group of 10!! Which was great because 7 of the 10 were kids!! We had two appetizers, Crab Dip and Firecracker Shrimp. They were extremely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our waitress, Holly, was awesome and took great care of us!! She was great with the kids and my youngest daughter said she was really kind!! We will definitely come back and eat again!!
We are here twice during our weeklong stay and were pleased both times. Our favorite was the flounder sandwich. The fish was so fresh and a good value for the size filet. We did carry out - the restaurant itself is small but they have a cute outdoor dining area. Will be back for the flounder sandwich!
Friendly GOOD food We had the maui Wrap & Blackened maui fish tacos Very good Trust a foodie , Clean all through restaurant!
We were seeking a burger. They had a cheeseburger that fit the bill. (You can only eat so much sea food). The place is not large. The booths were comfortable. The have an adjacent associated gift shop.

Don’t bother eating at this restaurant. They serve low quality, over priced food. The seafood is not fresh and some of the staff are rude and unwelcoming. So many better food options on the island. We will never go back to this establishment.
Arriving for lunch before check-in to our rental we stopped at Flipperz for outdoor dining at their picnic tables. We saw on-line that they had good fried oysters so we ordered the platter which came with two sides. I chose fried okra and fried onion rings which satisfied my craving for both oysters and fried food :) My husband had the fried oyster platter with fries and a soup. We both enjoyed to food and the informal dining.
Service was great. Food was great. Price was reasonable and as expected. Good selection for the children. We would dine here again.
They had a band outside. Staff was friendly. Good was pretty good. Had the fried pickle and jalapeños which were delicious. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was good. Would definitely eat here again!
Family had lunch here and enjoyed it very much. The food was very good and the staff was great. They also have a small store opposite of the restaurant. We may stop in again for lunch and dinner. Really a cool looking place inside, like a giant Tiki Bar. Highly recommend eating here.
